Philco 551 clock question
#1

Hey all,

First post on the forum.  I inherited my dad's Philco 551 clock radio after he passed away a few years ago.  I attached a picture of it.  It's in great shape and has the original finials.  It's been sitting on my mantel where there is no power source.  I've been replacing the movements on some other clocks to get them running and it got me thinking I should do the same to the Philco 551.  I'll keep the old electric movement so I can always go back to original.

I was wondering if anybody else has done that and how do you get access to the hands?  On the other clocks I have done they all had doors on the front where I could access the hands to remove them.  Any advice is welcome.

Thanks

Greg
